Talk Title: Three/four-dimensional chiral HPLC analysis of amino acids in mammals; their origins, regulation systems and diagnostic values

He graduated from The University of Tokyo in 1991, and received a Master of Pharmacy in 1993.  He then obtained his Ph.D. degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from The University of Tokyo in 1996.  Throughout the doctoral course, he obtained research fellowships from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science for Young Scientists (1993-1996).  Subsequently, he began his academic carrier as an Assistant Professor at Kyushu University, and was promoted to an Associate Professor in 2001, and to the full Professor in 2016.  He is a Program Officer of Research Center for Science Systems, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (2018-2022).  He received The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry Award for Young Scientists in 2003, The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan Award for Young Scientists in 2006 and The Society for Chromatographic Sciences Award (Japan) in 2019.  His current research interests focus on the development of analytical methods for chiral amino acids and the study on their physiological functions, diagnostic values and the design of functional foods.
